As the seventh round begins, Sniper leaps into the soup, fins flashing, and grabs Unown G for Gunk Shot! Immediately, the Remoraid launches a toxic blob of poison at Tree, badly injuring the Turtwig! Angrily, the Grass-type retaliates with a Mega Drain, siphoning some life force from Sniper!

Again leaping high into the air, Sniper nails Tree with a white-hot Flamethrower! However, the Turtwig seems to be planning something... Holding Unown M like a shield, Tree unleashes a Mirror Coat for massive damage, sending Sniper flopping limply back into the soup!

Struggling to the surface, Sniper fires a final Ice Beam, KOing the Turtwig and ending the round!

As the eighth round begins, a Numel is sent out, her volcano smoking. Before she can move, Sniper summons the last of his strength to unleash a Hydro Wave Combo, absolutely wrecking the Numel! Struggling to stand under the onslaught of water, the Numel manages to retaliate with a Hidden Power, KOing the exhausted Remoraid to end the round.

Unknown W (Water Spout) - Hidden Power - Hidden PowerIf Unknown A (Agility(Evasive)) is used, then use Mach Punch on that action and push back.If Unknown T (Teleport(Evasive)) is used, then use Mach Punch on that action and push back.If a sleep inflicting move is used, then use Unknown H (Hypnosis) A1 and don't push back. This sub has priority.

And I actually checked this time in the referee resource thread. Sleep inflicting move is a legal sub class.

As the ninth round starts, it's still anybody's game. FIAR the Numel has a clear advantage over Magby, but is far more injured. Will Imanalt be able to catch up? Let's find out!

A solitary Unown W washes over the edge of the platform, looking frightened. Both battlers charge forward, trying to capture it, but it's the slower FIAR who manages to grab it in her mouth! She uses a pointless Wide Guard, as Anti-Tank the Magby looks on forlornly.

Abandoning any idea of getting an Unown, Fiar unleashes two Hidden Powers, only to be taken unaware by two Magnitudes!

As the round ends, the sandstorm rages on, whirling around the exhausted battlers. The match is closer than ever, and only time can tell the victor...
